View Full Version : Landscape issue in new version

I rotated to landscape and the new version didn't reconfigure to fit the screen. As a result, I couldn't get to any of the lower area (including navigation). Am I doing something wrong, or do I need a special skin for that?
By the way, I use Nyditot to rotate if that helps.
Thanks

I think its a nyditot problem.
Pocket Launcher no longer works in landscape either. It remains in Portrait.
Wait and see what happens with the new nyditot.

This doesn't seem to be a Nyditot issue -- I'm using JSLandscape, and I'm also having some weird problems. I'm using Dashboard v1.3.001c on a MIPS PocketPC (Cassiopeia EM-500). Whenever I switch between portrait and landscape, my screen remains blank unless I go into Today settings, uncheck Dashboard, then go back in and check Dashboard again. Unbelievably annoying.
The new version seems a bit buggy to me -- not really sure what this "upgrade" accomplished. I'm still a huge proponent of the program (I'm one of the largest skin contributors over on wincustomize -- something over 12,500 downloads), but given a choice, I'd just as soon switch back to the old version. Unfortunately, that option has been taken away!

greed6; I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "taken away". I archive all my snoopsoft installers, as I've been testing betas for a while now, and know that sometimes older versions of some software are less buggy.
As for this 'new' problem, well, as far as I know only the SymbianLS skin has ever had a landscape function, but I'm not heavily into skins anyway. Maybe there are others. But the default skins (Green and Blue) with the new version are Portrait-only, yes, so I soon switched back to Symbian.Function is far more important to me than appearance. And my EG-800 currently does not function in Portrait mode, so I live in the world of JSLandscape until the new unit arrives next week.

Gerard...
Well, unfortunately, I haven't saved the old version -- I just archived the e-mail that gave me the download location. And now when I go to download from that link, it's now the new version. It seems Snoopsoft just took the old version off their servers.
There are also quite a few skins with landscape version (I've designed two of them myself) ... they worked fine in the old version of Dashboard, but seem to not work at all in the new.

Hi,
To be honest, I haven't tried the Landscape mode in a while. I will need to reload it and retest it now though.
Thanks!
